the obama administration in my view, suzanne, has made the right judgment that the idea of a military intervention is just not in the cards. it's just -- presents too many difficulties for all concerned, but is there a way for the administration working with turkey, saudi arabia, qatar, and other states, the european union, can we put more pressure on assad? can we get more effective political support to the opposition and help them to unify? is it possible to help turkey, for instance, to establish humanitarian zones? i think there's more that can be done, but i think the administration has been right to be cautious. this is a very different situation than libya a year and a half ago when we went in against muammar gadhafi? >> china is really the emerging power, and today it's a historic week for china. it is once again it's making a change here. it only happens once in every ten years. this transition to power of a new leader. china, the second world's biggest economy, closing fast in on the united states, and you've got this big fight over twrad i will balance between the united st
